Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua would jump at facing Martin Bakole in Africa, says Bakole trainer

[BoxingUpdates]

Although it is presumed that Martin Bakole will challenge Daniel Dubois, the IBF heavyweight titleholder, if Bakole gets past Efe Ajagba in an IBF eliminator in May, there are other possibilities, too including fighting Martin Bakole in Africa, says Bakole's coach.

100% Dubois will want Usyk. Usyk fought Joshua and Fury (twice) and those were very public fights. Even though Usyk is not the biggest draw, this is the money fight for Dubois. Bakole is the scary fight that only gets you forever street cred and that no longer counts in boxing unfortunately.

Yep, and that's the inflection point for even those fighters who are most dedicated to their craft and legacy, I suspect. The bigger money fights provide a life-long path of financial security for generations of a fighter's family. It's a smart choice for the fighter if that's where his priorities are. Frustrating for the fans but I get it.

AJ never ducked anybody. He will fight Bakole
or maybe Dubois rematch.

I believe Parker beats Dubois

It's good work by his promoter, putting the duck scenario on Dubois upfront will make it harder for him to duck!

I think it all depends if Parker can hit him with a shot or two hard enough to Earn respect because I anticipate Dubois coming out guns blazing like he did against AJ and those shots were hard.

I wish Turki would ask for Bakole vs Dubois if the latter loses to Parker.

[Winky-Wright]

Bakole is bad news for AJ, Hearn won’t risk it, they are waiting to see if Fury pops his head back up or I have a feeling Zhang will be the next target if he beats Kabayel.

Easy payday against a shopworn former name. Like contenders padding resume with James Quick Tillis in late 80s
